In 1993, he made his director debut with "Ah My Goddess (OVA)". Originally the sponsors of the OVA were against AIC adapting it, but after Kōsuke Fujishima (Author of "Ah My Goddess") watched "Bubblegum Crisis" episode 8 (Directed by Hiroaki Gouda), he advocated for AIC and Gouda to adapt it. In 2002, he was the character designer for "Onegai ☆ Teacher". In 2004, he directed the TV remake of "Ah My Goddess" at AIC/AIC Digital. In 2010, he was the character designer for "Amagami SS".

In 2018, Will Palettte merged with TROYCA, a studio founded by former AIC employess.
